Stunning house, spacious, elegant, and everything you need is there. Three generations ages 9-70 years, we had an amazing half-term holiday and made some wonderful memories.The children loved exploring the grounds , getting very muddy but loved it. Family darts match in the games room was hilarious.We had a few issues on arrival spoke to Laura and all fixed later the same day. Simply a superb stay would definitely recommend and hope to go back soon.
